Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to digital tachographs, and particularly to a digital tachograph comprising a driver identifying means, and a user interface comprising processing means configured to enable manual entry of driver activity data.
  • Digital tachographs are like analogue tachographs used for gathering information relating to the usage of a vehicle, and to collection of driver activities, such as driving hours, distance traveled, start time, finish time, rest time, driver name, starting location and finishing location.
  • a digital tachograph greatly facilitates for a driver to register active usage of a vehicle, but non-driving time is still cumbersome to register for a driver.
  • the non-driving time is in a digital tachograph equivalent to the time the driver has not been driving.
  • non-driving time is the time when a driver's smart card has not been connected to a smart card reader of a digital tachograph, or a time period when the card has been connected to the smart card reader while the vehicle has been standing still.
  • a time period between respective moments in time when an identification card identifying a driver is taken out and inserted in an identifying means of a digital tachograph is one example of a non-driving time period.
  • Registrations of activities during non-driving time periods is manually entered via the user interface of a digital tachograph and thereafter confirmed and saved.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a tachograph and a method facilitating the procedure for registration and editing of driver activity data entered manually for a non-driving time period.
  • a digital tachograph comprising driver identifying means, and a user interface with processing means, input means for manual entry of driver activity data and output means.
  • the processing means are configured to enable editing and saving driver activity data on a driver specific driver activity data storage means. Data saved regards activities of a driver identified by the driver identification means during a period of time being a part of a non-driving time period. By enabling editing of a part of a non-driving time period, the time-consuming process of manually re-entering driver activity data for a full non-driving time period is avoided. Facilitating the process for manual entry and editing of driver activity data makes it easier for the driver to fully and completely present activities performed during a non-driving period.
  • the processing means are further configured to display a chronologic time-line showing driver activity data including data entered manually for a non-driving period.
  • the driver can thus check manually entered driver activity data, and any mistakes done in the registration can easily be identified and corrected.
  • the processing means are further configured to display in said time-line type, start time and end time of a driver activity entered manually for each part of a non-driving time period.
  • the processing means are further configured to enable selection from said time-line of a time period being a part of a non-driving time period with manually entered driver activity data, for which part of period driver activity data is to be edited before confirmation.
  • the output means are arranged to provide a read out to enable review before confirming entered driver activity data.
  • the output means is preferably any one of the following: a printer for printing of read out, a display for showing the read out, or a transmitter for transmitting the read out to an external device.
  • a printer for printing of read out a display for showing the read out
  • a transmitter for transmitting the read out to an external device Exemplary ways of transmitting the read out can be by wire connection, by radio communication or by infrared communication.
  • identifying means as a smart card reader or similar
  • driver activity data concerning a specific driver is stored on a smart card.
  • a smart card may be used both for identifying a driver and for achieving automatic driver information.
  • a method for manually editing and saving driver activity data regarding activities of a driver for a time period being a part of a non-driving time period comprises the steps of: identifying a driver, selecting a time period being a part of a non-driving time period for which part of period driver activity data is to be edited, receiving edited driver activity data by manual entry, providing a read out of said edited driver activity data, reviewing, confirming and saving said edited driver activity data.
  • the read out is provided on a display.
  • the read out is transmitted to an external device.
  • the read out is provided on a printer.
  • the digital tachograph 1 comprises means 2 for identifying a driver and a user interface 3 with processing means 4, input means 5 for manual entry of driver activity data and output means 6.
  • the processing means 4 enables manual editing of driver activity data for non-driving periods.
  • Means for identifying a driver can for example be a smart card reader used together with a smart card identifying a driver, but any other means enabling identification may be used, such as a SIM card in use for a mobile phone.
  • Means for storing driver specific activity data can also be a smart card, and the same smart card may be used for both purposes.
  • the digital tachograph 1 When a smart card is inserted into a smart card reader, the digital tachograph 1 requests registration of activities made by the driver since last connected to a digital tachograph by means of the smart card. Information regarding moment in time when last connected to a digital tachograph is retrieved from the smart card.
  • Manual entries that for instance may be required in addition to activities performed are information regarding country and region in which the driver has spent time since latest the smart card was connected to a digital tachograph, as well as the country and region in which the driver currently is. However, end country and region is preferably retrieved from the smart card, and start country and region is preferably retrieved from navigational equipment or similar.
  • a request is preferably given whether a read out of the manually entered driver activity data is wanted. If affirmative, a read out is preferably printed by an output means of the digital tachograph, such as a printer used for tachographic driver activity data of the digital tachograph or by display or other communication interface. Such read out may for example show start time and end time, or start time and duration, and type of activity of a driver activity entered manually for each part of a non-driving time period. There after, confirmation of entered driver activity data can be selected, or editing of the manually entered driver activity data can be selected.
  • driver activity data registrations thus entered for a time period being a part of a non-driving time period editing of driver activity data for such period of time is enabled by the processing means.
  • the procedure is as follows.
  • the driver identifies him/herself to a tachograph, for example by entering a smart card into a smart card reader in the tachograph. Activities performed during the last non-driving time period, in this example case the time period since the last time the driver was identified by a tachograph, are entered manually by the driver via the user interface.
  • Fig. 3a and b When the driver has entered driver activity data for activities performed during the full non-driving period, entered driver activity data are reviewed. Review can be performed for example by printing a read out showing the period, or by review directly on a display on the tachograph.
  • manually entered driver activity data can be shown graphically in a chronologic time-line, showing start time and end time of a driver activity entered manually for each part of a non-driving time period.
  • Fig. 3a shows an example of a printout of a full non-driving period
  • Fig. 3b shows an example of a review view shown on a display.
  • Each part of the non-driving time period, with a specific driver activity can be selected for editing of manually entered driver activity data.
  • the driver may, by manual entry via the processing means, select a full non-driving time period, or a time period being a part of a non-driving time period, for which period manually entered driver activity data is to be edited, otherwise data can be confirmed and saved.
  • New driver activity data is thereafter received by manual entry via the input means. Thereafter, a read out of the manually edited driver activity data for the non-driving time period, or part of such period, can be done again for reviewing driver activity data before confirmation of the thus edited driver activity data. After confirmation driver activity data regarding the specific driver is saved and may, for legal reasons, not be changed.
  • the user interface preferably comprises a small display, due to space limitations in the vehicle the driver is using and also legislation requirements. Without such restrictions the user interface could e.g. include an external device, such as a large display, a mobile phone, a PDA or similar device.
  • an external device such as a large display, a mobile phone, a PDA or similar device.
  • the identifying means is preferably a smart card reader or similar, among other things due to legislation requirements. Without such restrictions the driver could e.g. be identified remotely through a mobile phone, a PDA, RFID, a Bluetooth connection, or similarly.
  • a further facilitation for manual entry of non-driving driver activity data is to give the user of the digital tachograph the possibility to enter whether local time or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) should be used.
  • UTC Coordinatd Universal Time
  • UTC Coordinatd Universal Time
  • UTC can therefore be registered in the digital tachograph despite the user entering local times. In this way the user need not convert local times of activity to UTC, instead the digital tachograph will do it for the driver.
  • Such an automatic conversion will also reduce the risk of faulty conversions.
